I was looking at installing a Custom Lollipop Rom like Illusion, Bliss Pop, LiquidSmooth, NamelessROM but since these are not built for the Verizon lollipop Rom I'm wondering what key features might be missing. I have looked at the change logs for each and didn't see much or any information on known bugs of features missing normally found in Kitkat. Before wiping and installing a Rom I know I won't be happy with, what features might be missing from the custom lollipop Roms?
Camera working?
GPS working?
Wifi working?
Phone / 4G working?
Wireless Charging working?
Hotspot working?
Xposed working?
external SD Card working?
Bluetooth working?
NFC working?
Thanks in advance who take the time to respond.
Yes camera works but you'll be missing the G3's laser focus, so pictures won't be as good. Some third-party camera apps improves this although none use the laser focus. GPS works for some, not for others. There's a thread in these sections on getting it working on AOSP/CM ROMs, although not all have had luck. As far as I know, phone and 4G work fine.
From what someone wrote the other day, wireless charging is a stock-only feature, at least for now. I'm sure Xposed works, given that it's a work in progress having it fully compatible under Lollipop, and not all modules will work under Lollipop if they haven't been updated to do so. The External SD card works fine I think. Some people have had problems with Bluetooth, and someone noted that there's been a lot of bluetooth-related commits to CyanogenMod lately. I haven't checked NFC and I'm on stock LG Lollipop.
Good luck!

also,
these are not stock based roms, and never will be. for the most part, they will never look like or be like stock.
most of what you mentioned are common things and not stock specific, so they are included and generally working.
however, the camera will more than likely never be as good as stock, and wireless charging i would be surprised if it ever gets fixed. they are just a few things that are very difficult to get working on aosp/cm/whatever non stock base.

Your full line of lg apps will be missing. The q remote app I think can be added.
Gps works although you may have to flash a 4.4.2 rom like skydragon first and get a GPS lock.
Bluetooth works.
My laser focus works with the Google camera app on illusion 6.0 I can even see it lighting up ever so slightly.
Hotspot always works.
Xposed works but I haven't tried it or felt the need to. There were enough tweaks in illusion box (quick settings, nav bar, power menu, gestures, etc)
NFC worked for me yesterday with Google wallet.
Miracast has never worked fit me though but is not a deal breaker.
Illusion also has the best support hands down. Tons of people there to help with a fast response time.
If I were you, I'd set yourself up for success. Make a TWRP backup. Then flash skydragon and get a GPS lock. I'd be sure to flash the 12b radio if you haven't already (located in jasmine rom thread). Flash illusion, then desired gapps.
The worst thing that could happen is you won't like it and you can just flash your backup....

Anyone know of a fix for WiFi authentication error? I know the s4's were having some issues , I am good at home but can't connect to my work internet. It is open just have to accept on there home page.It never can connect so you can get to there accept page. I noticed that there was a whole page of complaints on the Verizon thread about this, but I didn't see a solution. I even switched back to a stock ROM and had the same issue. Has anyone else encountered this?
Yes. No matter what tw ROM I use I can not connect to my work WiFi, it says there is an authentication error. I installed CM ROM and it works.

Would be interesting to see if this was addressed in the recent update.
I have found all recent aosp roms I've tried, including the GE roms have this wifi issue fixed. But I haven't found a single Touchwiz rom that can authenticate on my work wifi. I would say hopefully the TW update took care of the issue, but coming from a Gnex I prefer the aosp. I just would like to see the IR remote, TW camera, and gallery with google plus photos all working on aosp as well as they do on TW. Then I would never look back!
Howdy,
I'm having problems with NFC I have not been able to solve with hours of googling and thought someone may have run into the same issues before. I am trying to program an NFC tag, but my phone doesn't detect the tag or my Nexus 7 tablet (which detects the tags just fine). I'm running the latest Venom ROM and also just did a Factory Reset and reflashed the ROM to no avail. I tried taking off my case, cleaning the contacts on the back cover, holding the tag all around the camera where the hardware is supposed to be and I don't get anything. I have one of the special NFC-enabled SIMs as well, not that that should matter as I haven't tried the ISIS app yet. The tags are NTAG203s. Anyone ever run into something like this?
Just chiming in and letting you know that I have had NFC issues with the Verizon version since the KitKat update...

Glad I'm not the only one, thanks for your reply... out of curiosity are you running stock? I neglected to mention I'm running a Viper ROM but I'm sure there would be more complaints if there was an issue with the ROM.
Fixed!
Hate to respond so late but I figured I would just in case it helps someone-- turned out to be an 1D10T error. I was able to locate a setting in the Viper ROM settings that I was unaware of (Viper Tweaks App --> Misc --> NFC Restrictions). I switched the option to no restrictions and I can now use my NFC tags. Just a tap and I connect to the guest WiFi at work and launch my VPN
Oops never saw your response. Was all stock. I'm about to sell the device. Resetting and will test one last time.
Hi,
as some people may not be sure before switching to the beta version released by nubia, it may be a good idea to list the issues that we found with this rom
here are mine (I only use one sim card)
1: UI is slow and even more slow with full brightness (installing another launcher could help)
2: the notification switchs (data) will be ON whereas data is off . Plain mode also turn off data but the switch stay on
3: bluetooth audio is crappy... there are like sound hole every 5 seconds... can't use it correcly in my car
beside that, it did not tell the car what music is playing (there was no issue on CM12 and Mokee 5)
4: once the new system is installed, you can't reinstall directly install your previous backups as the partition is now different..
new CM12/mokee will be released soon to fix this. In the worst case you can still reinstall kitkat with the nubia update tool

I've tried to duplicate the problem in number 1, but have not had problems. I've also read (don't remember where now) on a couple of the Chinese bbs that this seems common. Some people really think the new UI is slow and others do not have problems. I actually think it runs pretty smoothly.
I agree with number 2. Additionally, even though I have vibrate turned off, the phone always vibrates. Unless I have the phone on silent, then there is no vibrating and no sound. I've tried to have vibrate for silent only and it does not work.
I don't use bluetooth, so I cannot confirm number 3.
I partially disagree with point 4 because you can get much of what you had back previously if you used something like Titanium Backup. As I stated in one of my previous posts, I used Titanium backup to backup all apps and data. After that, I copied the folder to my computer. After installing the Nubia beta update, I transferred the folder back to the phone and restored everything without any problems. On the other hand, number 4 is correct. You cannot go back and reinstall a previous TWRP or CWM backup because of the unified storage. In my opinion, this has nothing to do with Nubia as this applies to any phone that upgrades from 4.4 to 5.0/5.1. If a rom says that it is Android L, but does not use unified storage, it is still technically a modified version of 4.4.
A couple of additional points that I don't like:
Cannot modify the actions of the buttons
No theme engine for further UI modifications
No clock widget (I know it's minor, but many people are complaining about this on the Chinese bbs too.)
One thing that is nice is that I had issues with my battery overheating frequently and since I have updated this has not happened at all. Maybe it's just me, but I'm kind of an app junkie. I'm always trying new apps; installing them, uninstalling them and so on. This process seems to be much quicker now. Additionally, I think that the signal has improved. I now have mobile reception in several areas where it was a dead zone previously.
thank you for your long feedback
in fact i prefer using cwm or twrp backups as i change the entire rom, it may be that some settings are not located at the same place so using a tool like titanium that run on the rom itself may not find all settings (but maybe they improved it since i first tried)
Concerning the UI slownes, I used Mokee and Cm12 on this phone and the feeling was a lot smoother
other people confirmed this. Try sliding from one desktop to an other with brightness level at minimum and retry it with maximum brightness you'll notice a visible difference
concerning the existing CM12/Mokee 5 roms, these are indeed Android5. But maybe they didn't change the storage to be 100% compatible with existing nubia partition
oh i also forgot, like in previous nubia rom, the UI has no notification access menu... I don't understand why
this is particulary useful if another device needs to read the notifications like a watch or a band... (but you can access it by installing 3rd party tools)
i'm on Cuocu92's modified Android 5 (he added some stuff like multilang, removed some useless apps and added google apps)
but I will switch back to Mokee or Cm12 as soon as they release a working version... the bluetooth and notification switch issue are two point that force me to switch
I do agree that Mokee and CM12 were a bit smoother. However, even when I change brightness from minimum to maximum I don't seem to notice any drastic change in smoothness. Maybe it's the launcher that you use like we talked about in the other thread. I agree with you on the notification access menu, that's a pain in the a$$. Interesting about the CM12/Mokee; I've read several places that state otherwise, so I'm not sure what to believe. I also agree, I too will switch back to Mokee or CM12. The FIUI rom has also been having some really nice improvements and I may try that if they switch to 5.0. For me the notification, the button customization, and the themes make me want to switch back.
Have to agree that the UI on 5.0 is pretty laggy even when using Nova launcher which is usually butter smooth their is major frame drops. And it especially gets laggy when brightness adjusts its self if set on auto.
Also at some point the home button stopped working for some unknown reason. I had to use the back button to exit apps. I don't know why some guys say that they don't have a theme engine. I have one on my ROM.
All in all I would not recommend someone using this ROM as a daily driver. Stick to 4.4 or any of the CM12, CM12.1 or Mokee versions.
I happen to have 2 Z7 minis with me and they both had the exact same bugs. I had to revert back to CM12.
i went to new CM12.1
but for people who need GPS => CM12.1 has a broken GPS, no signal, not even one satelite got detecte. Even outside with a clear view. Whereas official nubia can fix whitin 10 seconds inside ...

I agree now and finally see what people are talking about. Certain apps have really slowed down. It's apps that I don't use very often, but it's getting to be annoying. Going to give the new CM12 a try.

Can anyone help me? I was trying to flash the new CM12.1 using TWRP and in the middle of it the phone went black. Now I can't turn it back on, can't do anything. Ideas anyone? This sucks. Fortunately, I just did a backup of everything, but now the phone won't even power up. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Yes, I had already upgraded to the official nubia beta.
Edit: The phone still won't turn on, whether it's plugged in or not. However, when I plug it into the computer I can see 5 different partitions of various odd sizes with different aspects of the phone software visible.
Edit 2: So I did a hard reset and was able to get back to TWRP. Next I tried wipe data, cache, dalvik and it did the usual trying to format partitions and it kept failing, saying it couldn't access data. I tried flashing CM12.1 and it gave me the same error, although it said it installed successfully. I also flashed gapps. Now I'm waiting for it to boot up.

I've been on CM12.1 for almost 24 hours now and have not had this problem. GPS was off by default when I installed it and I had to enable it. I've used G-maps and a couple of other apps that need GPS and all of them locked on within a few seconds.

did you tried with gps device only settings ?
because maps use wifi and network localisation to have a position even when gps is not turned on
this really makes me crazy...
I installed gps test and it stay a "no fix"
whereas when i restore my nubia 5.0 OS and tried gps test it fix directly
restoring back the CM12.1 got again no fix :/

You are correct. I had not tried device only - it does not work. This is frustrating. Off to the Chinese forums to see what they say....
Hey guys I'm using the official v3.01 and I have so many bugs and crashes. Worst of all it crashes when I have an incoming call and sometimes the screen goes dark when I get a call and I can't swipe and answer the phone. Is there anyway to go back to KitKat 4.4.4? Can anyone explain the steps?
Hi All, just wanted to start this thread to add my feedback for CM12 11th May 2015 build.
I flashed the ROM using TWRP after a complete wipe. Before this ROM, I was on CyanogenMod 11, 20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-d802
Download Google Apps from here. Version CM 12 (20141212)
So far, I have an amazing experience with this ROM
Everything works as it should (Wi-Fi, calls, messaging, camera etc etc.).
Battery life seems to have improved. There was an issue in the previous ROM. Google Play Services use to keep a wakelock for one of its processes. This was resulting in immense battery drain.
This ROM seems to be lighter than CM11
The interface is smooth as butter, no lags nothing.
CM11 also use to give me random call drops (loads of them), CM12, no issues.
Hope this helps : )

All good. It's my daily driver. Awesome experience so far.
Found one issue.. Not sure if its ROM specific. I use open WiFi when in travelling to work via tube. I always use to be able to connect to the WiFi and sign in to the network. Now I can connect but can't sign in to the network. Cm12s 'sign in to network' is very different than the one on CM11. In CM11, I will need to click on 'Sign in to network' notification and it will take me to the default browser for signing in. In CM12, it doesn't take me to the browser, rather I get a dedicated 'sign in to network' window (see attachment) and it never signs in.
This not a big issue but I thought I will point it out : )

Hey guys,
after flashing the LG V30 Stock Pie ROM that some Apps or features aren't correctly working: I've noticed that the GPS is inaccurate while running Pokemon Go and all AR-Apps (like Google Measure) doesn't really work. I can try to scan the area, but nothing will happen.
Anyone else with these kind of bugs and know a solution?
Try restarting it.

When I updated the phone to US99830b (Pie), after the initial set up, apps cannot lock my location with gps turned on. After the first reboot, everything works fine.
Restart doesn't fix the problem
Restarting the device doesn't fix the problem. Any other suggestions?
